Each year, for the past few years I have posted a set of gift guides. The hope in that is that you can take recommendations from a trusted voice to cut across so many of the messages and adverts of the season saying ‘buy this!’, or ‘you need this!’! The consumerism of Christmas is no small thing, something I consider year on year as I buy gifts for those around me. The gifts I buy will majority be second hand, but the gifts I do buy new will hopefully be ones that last, are made well and haven’t cost someone else in the process. Lots of these gifts below can also be bought secondhand.

It’s November…somehow?! And thoughts of Christmas slowly infiltrate!

It’s always my hope to help you buy better when you need to! Whether you have no idea what shopping more responsibly looks like, or whether you’re a pro but just need some ideas- let this be for you! 

It’s day 7 of the series. We are almost at the end! Are you discovering new brands you didn’t know about? Today we are looking at ethical and sustainable knitwear. Again, this has been a favourite because I absolutely LOVE a knit and always welcome autumn with open arms with a chance to layer up with the maximum amount of knitted items.

Welcome to day 6 of the series where we’re taking a look at jumpsuits and dresses that are sustainably and fairly made! Wow! I had SO much fun creating this incredible collection of brands below- I am an absolute sucker for a jumpsuit and apparently now dresses after drooling over how many incredible options there are available. I am in love. I’ve always been a pretty play it safe clothing-wise kinda gal. My wardrobe has always been small and because I spent a lot of time travelling and in need of easy clothing the majority of what I have owned was black, or very dark colours.
